Velevra

1. Things are really firing on all cylinders for Chicago right now. Is there anything the team could do to be even better? Looks like we still drop some games giving up to many goals. Have to make sure the team isn't making careless mistakes like that! 2. If you had to fight for your life against any VHL mascot, which one could you beat and why? I'm not sure what all the mascots are. Maybe the NY Americans, is there mascot just an average american? Seems easier than a dragon or something 3. Spanish Moon Moth has 11 more points than the next closest player, along with a game in hand. Is he a lock for the Scotty Campbell Trophy? Still plenty of season left but if he can keep up the pace (hope he will!) he should be a lock 4. What's the best celly in all of sports? The opposing team bench stare down. 5. In the PBE, there is a baseball team on the moon. How long do you think it would take for that to be possible in real life? I'm not sure it will ever happen logistically. Think of the transportation costs for such a team I guess if the Moon was colonized it could maybe have it's own league after all the other priorities were met. 100 years perhaps? 8. Vacation time! Camping in the woods, going to the beach, or skiing/snowboarding in the mountains? I am rather partial to skiing in the mountains myself.

They seem to be killing it this season. Q3) Favorite music style?

Q2) Who has been your team's unsung hero thus far and why? Q3) What did your player dress up as for the team Halloween party?

1. The Phoenix have been red hot to start the season, sitting atop the North American Conference with a 10-2-1 record, 21 points, and a game in hand over the entire conference. What's the key to this torrid start for Chicago? I think we have had some fantastic goaltender so far which has been key to the hot start. 2. Who is the MVP of this team so far? In line with the previous question I have to give it to Ryan Artyomov who is shutting the door. 3. In your opinion, what is the biggest surprise of the VHL standings so far?

My second team the Flames are doing surprisingly well though.

1. Over the off-season, Chicago added veteran defender Celise Pereira through a trade and also acquired defenseman Feka Ohi Kau and goaltender RicerFourteen in the draft. As a veteran of the team, how would you best welcome them, or as one of the newcomers, what has you the most excited to be a part of the Chicago Phoenix? Excited for the new additions, happy to give them a tour around the city and get them nice and comfortable! 2. The Chicago Phoenix once again have an AGM, with Doomsday stepping into the role after the folding of the VHLE. On a scale of 0 to 10, how terrible of a decision was this for Cole to make? I would go with 0, it's a fantastic decision and not terrible at all. Doomsday is great and I'm sure Cole appreciates the support! 3. Speaking of the folding of the VHLE, what are your thoughts on that? I was probably more pro-VHLE than most. Liked the concept of going through another draft, moving up to another new team in between the VHL and VHLM levels. 4. The Utah Hockey Club is set to play their very first NHL game this week. How do you expect things to go for this new franchise? I wish them success, they might be able to compete for a wild card spot off the top of my head but you never know. 5.

I would probably go with Connor McDavid still has plenty of good years left. 2. If the VHL/VHLM expanded what city would you want to have a team? Need to expand to bring in Vasteras back clearly. 3.

Performing about how I expected which is nice to see! Hope to close out the season strong. 3. Which VHL team do you think will surprise come playoff time? I hope it's Chicago for selfish reasons.

1.THE HOCKEY WORLD IS IN SHAMBLES DUE TO THE LOSS OF THE GAUDREAU BROTHERS. HOW DID YOH FEEL WHEN YOU FOUND OUT THIS NEWS? It was definitely shocking and incredibly tragic. A little bit of a roller coaster with how the news came out unconfirmed and then took a bit for reputable sources to confirm. 2. WILL YOUR TEAM MAKE THE PLAYOFFS ? IF YES HOW DEEP WILL YOU GO ?

1. If you have had more than one player in the VHL, how would you order those players in terms of greatness? If you haven't, do you think this player will be your most successful or will another player take that place. I think Apollo Skye was probably my most successful individual award wise. The rest sort of blend together I think a couple were more successful team wise though like Severin von Karma/Shane Baker 2. What is your player's go-to play on a breakaway? If you are a goalie, how does your goalie approach breakaways? Fake the shot, go backhand and then forehand and roof it top corner 3.

I have always been partial to black and yellow but the colours would feel wrong for the Phoenix. --------- 1. How would you rate your player's performance thus far this season? 2.

Caught some of it, followed basketball and soccer the most and watched highlights from a bunch of the other sports! 2: Are you surprised with our start to the season? Why or why not? I would say a little surprised, I expected us to be strong but not so strong to shoot up to first in the conference right away. 4: Which team in NA do you think will give us the hardest time and why? I think Toronto and New York have pretty solid rosters we should keep an eye out for this season. 5: Has your player started the season how you wanted to? Why or why not? Pretty happy so far! My build is more oriented towards team success than individual stats but some of the stats like a good amount of shot blocks and being at a point per game are nice to see. 6: What is one area you think that your player could improve in and why? I think I'm pretty close to what my max build will be and then the focus will be on retaining the talent through the regression years. So just slight improvements to DF/PH/SC left 7: Which team do you want to play the most this season and why? Playing Moscow who are the defending champs would be fun. Should be a good test!
